Vulture HD 15x56 Binocular (VR-1556)

Let there be light. With 56mm objective lenses, Vulture HD series binoculars deliver absolutely incredible light transmission and superior low light performance—a critical attribute at dawn and dusk when game can be most active. And the phase-corrected roof prisms, fully multi-coated optics and our proprietary XR coatings deliver a super-bright image that’s sharp from edge-to-edge. Our proprietary ArmorTek coating on all exterior lenses resists scratches and smudges.

Adjust Eyecups & IPD

Enjoy comfortable viewing even if you wear eyeglasses. Simply twist the eyecups up or down to see the full field of view. Keep the eyecups fully extended if you aren’t wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses.

The IPD (interpupillary distance) is the distance between the centers of the left and right pupil. Your binocular also has an IPD. To see a single image free of shading, rotate your binocular until its IPD aligns with your eyes.

5 Stars
Really Nice Glass, awesome warranty!!
Great binos for an excellent price equal great value. Very impressive glass. Go ahead and get them, well worth it! And the Vortex warranty is top notch! I had my Vultures in a waterproof storage box that was not so waterproof. They laid in water for a couple months without it being known to me. I found them wet and cloudy. I was devastated. Vortex sent me a brand new binocular at no cost! How awesome is that?

Reviewed in Spain on June 10, 2020
Para un uso superior a unos de 10x , encuanto a rango o distancia son espectaculares. Yo los uso sin tripode, me apoyo en las rodillas o en un bastón, los mejores que e tenido en las manos.Buena luminosidad hasta cuando el ojo humano no ve bien, frente al sol la claridad y nitidez es impresionante, todo un acierto.
COMAPARANDOLOS con los bushnell one mille , son mucho mejores los vortex en todos aspectos, y cuestan la mitad.
Siempre compraré vortex, por calidad, garantia, y precio.
